John O'Brien Obituary

thanks to you who shared johnny with us.

I'm honor'd to have known and worked with "OB" as a young officer starting my corrections proffession.OB was old school and had a lot to offer if you wanted to learn. espicaly when it came time to enjoy a candy"NIP" espically coffee flavored. He will be missed by all I am just glad I had the opportunity to know OB.

I am sorry about your loss. God bless and keep your family safe and give them pease.

I was saddened to hear of the passing of "OB". As with everyone else who knew him, we all can remember his wit and humor, his stories and his teachings. Although he was a great asset to the Department of Corrections, he was a major asset to mankind. John, you certainly will be missed, but as long as we all keep you in our hearts and memories, you will remain alive. God Bless your family and make God give them peace and soltace during this trying time.

My husband and I were fortunate enough to both have worked with OB. After he retired, we would run in to him at the post office on occasion and he would always take the time to say a few words. He was always friendly. We were so saddened to hear of his passing. Our condolences to his family on your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

I was quite saddened to hear of O'Bs passing. What do you say when you lose someone that was a bright spot in your life? Someone who encouraged you to be better. I remember nights on swingshift. He always had a cup of coffee, a good story, and often good advice. He always seem to light up whenever he saw me. Whether it was at work, or away from work. I am a better person for knowing him. I will miss him terribly.

I considered it a privilege to have known John “O’B” as we all knew him. I met O’B on the first swing shift that I worked back in Jan of 1994 and he taught me many things about corrections. After his retirement, I continued to see him in the community and we would share the thought or news of the day.

“O’B” as a fellow Corrections Officer, I thank you for passing on the wisdom of the “School of Hard Knocks“. So, others and I did not have to travel that same road. As a fellow Veteran, I salute YOU for your devotion to Country and our way of Life and Freedom in time when doing the right thing was not popular.

My condolences to your family, May God keep them and bless them.

My sincere condolances. Obbie was one of the last remaining "old school" officers and he was respected by all.

I worked with Obbie as we called him in DOC for 3 years. My condolences to your family and friends. I hope he passed peacefully. John Thank you for serving your country, Thank you for my freedom.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

I am so sorry for your loss. John was a great guy and I really enjoyed working with him at the Limon Correctional Facility.
